Orange County is growing at an incredible rate. The current office of elections seems not to be able to keep up with the rising population and the process of controlling cost. In the Central Florida region Orange County spends more per voter than any of the surrounding jurisdictions, while at the same time delivering less than the total information voters deserve.

One of the most important issues of this campaign is assuring that each and every vote is counted correctly. That includes counting each and every vote from our men and women serving in the Armed Forces. The standards used presently are very stringent and need to allow for the flexibility of the extreme conditions found in combat. How can we honor these brave men and women if we cannot assure that their votes will be counted?
